Mindbender Roller Coaster POV Edmonton Mall Canada

[@minion986]

gotta love that no matter where you are in galaxy land. or in areas outside of galaxy lands entrances.. you can always hear the "mighty" roar of the mindbender when its in action :)

[@zacxiie]

minion986 yup, then hear screaming. the ride is SUPER scary to me, but my brother went on it 16 times in 2 days. i visited WEM for the summer...and The Mindbender was my first rollercoaster I've ever been on. lol im so crazy

[@ilikerollercoasters4757]

Very true

[@drshallow69]

Unfortunately that roar will never be heard again

[@sykojay]

R.I.P. Mindbender, one of my favorite coasters ever and a beautiful work of art.

[@TheRealConcertKing]

When I visited WEM years ago, I rode this thing about 10 times in a day. It is incredibly intense, the g-forces are tremendous. It's a really fun ride, but it's not very smooth. If anyone is planning on riding it, make sure to keep your head back against the headrest as firmly as possible otherwise your head will be snapping back and forth and it will hurt your ears. Also be aware that they use the most absurd restraints I've ever seen, at least they did at that time, where instead of having the restraint flip down forwards over you, it is some sort of contraption that clicks down into place, but it doesn't lock. So the g-forces of the ride force it down onto you as you ride and by the end it's pushing down on your shoulders and it can be quite uncomfortable and painful. After a while, I just started folding up my hoodie and putting it on my shoulders as padding.

[@user-px9gy6pu2y]

SOOO TRUE!!!!

[@bonniemcphee2645]

I'm local to the area and this video kind of made me want to ride but now i dont want to...i have issues with my neck and back

[@dnmitch]

I feel like given how old this coaster actually is, I think it was built during a time where Schwarzkopf was still hand bending track. Don’t quote me on it, but it seems like it could line up. Now a days coasters are designed on the computer to create the most smooth ride, and most, if not all coasters use heart lining to keep the ride super smooth. The over shoulder restraints are obvs out dated styles, and even just upgrading the cars to modern ones could improve the ride so much.

[@antoniomoreira7221]

For anyone wondering where exactly the train last crashed in the accident seen in the documentary footage, it is at the yellow pillar to the left of the train, at exactly 2:11, also seen at 0:50 and the last pillar to the right of the train at 4:08. The train did the loop after that but didn't have enough speed to complete it, stalled at the top of the loop for 20 minutes and then rolled back and hit the pillar. But from what I've heard the people were rescued before the car rolled back. The people in the last (4th) car however were thrown off the car sometime between the second and third loop, since the safety thing to hold on to of that car opened after the second loop, as well as the wheels broke and it derailed from the track. The other 3 cars on the front pulled it along with them throughout the track though, making it bounce like a fish tail and hit the structures. 3 of the 4 people on the last car died. Must have been horrible to see :(

[@friencheetah]

Are you sure the timestamps are correct? The only thing that confuses me is that records say the passengers fell roughly 25 feet but this looks way too low. Nonetheless, it was still a tragic accident all around.

[@acronus]

It's not just the speed or G's. It's the noise. It's LOUD. And there's tons of beams and supports flying very closely past the cars. It's a pretty intense experience. Love it.

[@stephenn77]

acronus Don’t stick your hands out, particularly by the third loop. Hand chopper there.

[@junkbox_]

Yes all of that is 100% true. Not just that but this coaster is also a KILLER. Hail Mindbender.

[@magicofjoy7092]

I'm inhuman I like loops :)

[@junkbox_]

I rode this in the 80s and it was spectacular. The trains were longer back then, and there was no backwards option. I think the original trains had headlights, one train was blue and the other was a dark brownish red. I would usually ride Mindbender 12 to 18 times per visit. Mindbender set the standard in my mind. Long before hyper coasters, this one had maximum intensity, speed, g-forces, and a high satisfaction level in general. Unlike similar models that were usually always outdoors, Mindbender seemed to pack a heavier punch and I assumed it was because of the track being less oxidized in a climate controlled hangar - let alone the fact that it was never assembled and disassembled for the travel circuit lile some of Mindbender's popular cousins. I blacked out once in the third loop. I was tilting my head forward for a more extreme experience and I blacked right out! I love Mindbender at WEM and I happy that it is well preserved safely indoors in one of the coldest places on Earth. Anton Schwarzkopf designed and built so many great looping coasters that pack a punch in terms of speed and velocity. I could be wrong but originally I don't think there were any brake runs until the end of the ride. This ride is one of the best coasters in Canada and is also one of the oldest as well.

[@LakeNipissing]

... and they pulled the plug on it. I am sick.

[@LakeNipissing]

You are absolutely correct. The Mindbender was essentially in a 'museum' environment, never seeing rain, snow, high winds, ocean/salt air, extremes of heat or cold... and they killed it.

[@chonkeyshonkey]

The Mindbender of Galaxyland and the fire breathing Dragon at Scotiabank Theatre were two things that made my childhood growing up in Edmonton. First the Dragon ceased operation in 2010, and removed in 2014. And now tragically the Mindbender closed in 2020-21, and is now being removed in 2023. Everything's changed at WEM... And clearly not for the better. I'm probably not gonna be visiting WEM as much anymore I'm afraid. It's just way too many emotional memories for me

[@vitorricci]

One of the most intense coasters I've ever ridden! I had a grayout in the second loop...

[@Lucas-bw4um]

i had a blackout

[@unnamedpotato5205]

Vitor Santana Ricci I didn't like it because of how shaky it is, I'll probably never go on it ever again. It's hands down the shakiest ride I've ever been on (haven't been on many roller coasters, and I'm only 11)

[@LakeNipissing]

Been on this every year since it re-opened in 1987. Great ride, really like no other with the track arrangement which has such sweeping curves and the intense G forces. But riding backwards on the blue train was a really different experience. Everyone needs to try it!

[@lindseys1456]

I'm taking my friend on this in December for her birthday. She promised she will go on with me because she chickened out last time... (she's terrified of roller coasters...) Before we leave, I'm actually tempted to put a screw in my pocket .. then when we get to the very top of the ride, I'll pull it out and say 'where the hell did this come from?" 😂

[@thekandycinema3193]

Couple tips if you're gonna go on this ride. 1. Sit on the left side. The 90-degree helix at the end makes it manageable to sit on the right side, but it's a much more enjoyable experience to basically be sideways on the huge drop. 2. Jam your knees into the padding on the coaster and keep your head glued to the back. Your neck is gonna hurt like crazy on the third loop if you don't do that (even though the forces on the third loop pull your head off the seat anyway) 3. Do what you can to sit in the front seat. I've rode in every seat, front is by far the best.

[@ZC.Andrew]

These tips actually make sense for a lot of coasters

I live in Edmonton, Albert And this ride freaked me out so much because I heard about the accident and I was like "Nope no one could pay me to get on that thing". Lol but I was called a chicken by my brother even though he hasn't go on the mind bender himself. So i went on it out of courage and bravery and I did not scream scream at a- Well I wish I could say that but no I went on because I hate being called a chicken and I screamed and cursed so much it was not pleasant. Lol after I came off the ride I was pale as snow and clammy as hell. It took me like 2 days to get over the feeling of accomplishment that I rode the mind bender before anyone else in my family. It was literally the best ride ever and such a rush!

[@conorfilipchuk8035]

Lol same but I went on it

[@erikwaterson361]

It is considered one of the most intense coasters ever built, so you’re not the only one coming out white as snow

[@EldrinLynn]

Just the fact of knowing that the ride crashed in 1986 gives riders a thrill. I went to the mall in Aug of 2013. Couldn't ride it since it was being worked on. But one day I hope to go back to get over my fear of riding it :)

[@citibear57]

Every time I would visit Edmonton it was a must see attraction to come to WEM and watch Mindbender. I had spent hours watching it. I especially enjoyed standing on the walkway that passes through two of the loops. I almost got up the nerve to try it, but always chickened out. One of my regrets in life. Now I am too old and too big to fit comfortably in one of the cars. Oh well. It still was fun to watch 😮

[@ahreisj832]

I love this roller coaster! The first time I rode it I passed out, but now my friends and I ride it over and over. Its pretty crazy backwards because you never know what's coming. Whenever I ride it, it isn't the intensity that gets to me but the roughness of the loops and helix.

[@rainbowchicklol123]

The ride is great, but there are a few things people need to realize before they go on. First of all KEEP YOUR HEAD AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE AT ALL TIMES. This will greatly reduce headaches caused by the jerking motion. Secondly, Riding it backwards isn't worth it and is significantly less scary. Third, the major g-forces acting on you combined with adrenaline have made some people pass out on the ride, so be aware of that and don't go on if you're dizzy. Overall one of my favourite rollercoasters!

[@ianpineda8456]

i agree to the second part i dont know about the first and third

I can not believe you rode this after the accident that it had. It is extremely terrifying to see the accident occur.

[@DavisNews4U]

Whats cool is that they kept this open even after the fatal accident . I love this ride.

[@steventurner1628]

The accident happened in 1987 so it is wayyy safer now. The chances of it happening a gain are extremely tiny.

That's amazing how smooth it is, and are those perfectly circle loops?

[@GoogsMindbent]

almost, the first two loops are less so than the third by a good degree. Third loop track section just before entering the bend is briefly almost completely flat horizontally. Wile the exiting bend is 100% gravity slingshotting you out as the section of track after IS completely flat in terms of horizon. That being said it's still not a perfect circle, only a few degrees off though! However the right hand rail out of the third loop flat section does rise. Adding a light dihedral and the trajectory also turns slightly left in banking preparation for next transition upward-left.

[@Tanks4meSTC]

Back in 1986, the left inside wheels were missing some bolts. The train's wheel assembly came apart, and the whole train pretty much derailed, the lap bars were disengaged in the process. 3 deaths, one critically injured.

[@yumyumyum2619]

Oh that looks like so much fun! sucks that I live so far away from Edmonton :/

[@Freekyeight]

that goes fast through those loops, looks fun.

[@35caliber.]

i almost passed out riding this today because my head kept snapping forward during the loops and i couldn’t pull it back. also that third loop is gnarly lol

[@Ph0n3numb3r]

[@MIKEYPOOHBEARJACKSON]

damn that ride is a killer

[@GoogsMindbent]

🤣This GUY!🤣

[@tannistacolover29]

I went on this ride yesterday, it's pretty fun I have motion sickness but it was totally worth it best roller coaster yet :P

[@kaylatomlinson4104]

I went to Edmonton but when I went I was 10 and I had never rode an actual roller coaster before so I didn't ride this one. Should I ride next time I go?

[@Neferdias]

There's three of them now. New one was finished in 2007. Canada's first spinning rollercoaster.

[@Idioms101]

should i ride this if i go to canada ill will go on this if its safe now and doesnt cause that much injuries

[@TheFringes.]

I cant decide if this should be called a manufacturing flaw, or the maintenence crew's fault. The screws holding in the axles wiggled out and there was a catastrophic derail in the last cart on the yellow train. They redesigned the entire cart after the accident. Search on wikiperdia "mindbender roller coaster edmmonton mall". They have all the information.

[@TheThinkingBee25]

Wow awesome ! Love rollercoasters like that. :))

[@isaacfrohlich4575]

This is my favourite indoor coaster

[@katiehickton8711]

oh my I would love to go on this looks awesome

[@only1clover]

I live here in Edmonton and I have not yet gone on it. Weird I know. It is pretty sweet tho!

[@NiteOwl1224]

It's called the "Galaxy Orbiter", it's a Spinning coaster, it's pretty fun!!

[@Claudiastardh]

it looks like its running really smoothly

[@2can99]

What is that yellow coaster in the background that you see every so often

[@chadirish44]

This is a very cool Roller Coaster. BTW - Its "West Edmonton Mall" not "Edmonton Mall" Keep up the great work.

[@mistofoles]

Ain indoor rollercoaster, cool. How much does it cost to ride it?

[@BeanEatsBeans]

I went on this so many times, 3 times by myself. It was so awesome!

[@beynonjonas]

[@BeanEatsBeans]
